MA/MS in Biomedical/Medical Engineering

This master of science lets students shape their studies around the research that drives advances in healthcare. Learning is organized around projects and group research, and students apply engineering ideas to problems in medicine and biology. The setting helps. The university supports research with substantial resources and sits in a region full of biomedical employers, so students can work with faculty, classmates and nearby companies on real problems. Classes, research groups and shared laboratories are small, and the program draws on a long engineering tradition together with recent investment in the life sciences. The curriculum is rigorous yet flexible. Requirements include courses in biomedical engineering, life sciences and advanced mathematics. Students also take multidisciplinary electives, attend a graduate seminar, and write a thesis. Laboratory projects range widely, covering topics from cardiovascular tissue engineering to sensors and instrumentation for biomedical use. Graduates present original technical and scientific work, which supports many career directions, including further study in medicine, nursing or law.
